There are only "winners" in the red-top press mis-reporting something they half-understand picked up in some bar gossip.
The exercise will have demonstrated to those running it what tactics and techniques actually worked, and those that did not do so well. Exercises are a learning experience (if they arent the sort of scripted things where the result is pre-determined of course, but even those teach lessons in e.g. logistics if say those fall over running the pre-scripted master plan).
But the gutter press need "emotive" headlines to sell thier rag so "Ruritanian Airforce beats USAF, shlock horror!" in the Daily Fail. Meanwhile some specialist publication runs something more reasonable about how the Ruritanians did OK and won 3 out of 6 2 on 2 visual rules close in dogfights when visiting on a training mission but lost 5 out of 6 BVR scraps as their mig-21s were totally outclassed in that field with no long range missiles or radar.
Basically - dont get your news from the tabloids
